The liver is a late bloomer!

When Xu Chen saw the embryo of the innate spiritual treasure, he finally understood how Mu Chunlei had lost all his possessions.

In matters of the heart, he always beat him to a draw.

"Senior, you don't believe me?"

Mu Chunlei met Xu Chen's questioning gaze, his eyes darting away.

"It seems your destiny has not yet arrived, senior. You cannot break this fate."

"If the opponent the arena arranged for me in this battle had been any stronger, you might have bet on me to lose," Xu Chen said casually.

"That's impossible. I believe you this time, even if I lose, I'll accept it," Mu Chunlei said firmly.

"If that's what you think, senior, then it must be that the time is right."

Although Xu Chen said this, he was still somewhat speechless inside.

"I'll take these light and shadow effects back and study them for a while longer."

After accepting these lights and shadows, Xu Chen withdrew from the Dark Dao Network, and his consciousness returned to his main body.

Inside the temporary cave dwelling, the seasons change and day and night cycle.

That night, Xu Chen looked at the dazzling starry sky and waved his hand to release those lights and shadows again.

“Each of these ten would be a pillar of the human race, yet they can’t even make it into the top five thousand.”

"The gap between these two will probably only be bridged after I become an invincible saint."

In the interplay of light and shadow, the prodigy of the Divine Race is battling a powerful expert at the Great Luo Realm.

As their divine powers clashed, amidst a hundred booming sounds, the prodigy of the Divine Race was overwhelming the Great Luo Realm expert.

In Xu Chen's eyes, that genius of the Divine Clan was the most outstanding being, whether in terms of his own Golden Immortal power or his supernatural abilities and techniques.

Most importantly, this prodigy of the Divine Race also possesses a divine power of the Great Dao, whose attacks are as terrifying as if the Great Dao itself were being destroyed.

With Xu Chen's discerning eye, he could naturally see that the foundation of this Great Dao Divine Power came from the inheritance system of the Divine Race. Although he also possessed Great Dao Divine Power, it did not originate from the inheritance system of human race's cultivation techniques and divine powers.

Therefore, given his current Golden Immortal realm, it would be extremely difficult for him to learn any Daoist supernatural powers that are suitable for him and that he can even begin to understand.

"When I reach the Saintly Venerable Realm in the future, I must deduce a batch of Great Dao Divine Powers!"

Xu Chen controlled the light and shadow to play back and forth the scene where the genius of the Divine Race released the Great Dao Divine Power, watching it more than a hundred times.

"The Great Dao Divine Power has allowed you to unleash the might of Immortal Dao Divine Power, but you still need to practice!"

After analyzing the combat power of the Divine Race prodigies in the first beam of light and shadow, Xu Chen moved on to the second beam.

For three months straight, Xu Chen was studying the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities inherited by the ten geniuses of the Divine Clan.

The day of the battle has been agreed upon.

The plaza beneath the tenth battle world is a gathering place for billions of gamblers.

In the battle world, Xu Chen looked at his opponent in the final battle.

Judging from his appearance and the aura of the Great Dao emanating from him, Xu Chen could basically confirm that the person in front of him was Yu Lichuan, who ranked 5312th on the list of 100,000 prodigies.

A prodigy of the clan, born into one of the three great holy families.

Yu Lichuan stood proudly on the battlefield, looking indifferently at his opponent, exuding his terrifying aura of the Great Dao.

Xu Chen was the same, except that the aura he exuded this time was somewhat different from usual.

It was as if many great paths were mixed together; one could see the chaos of the great path and supernatural powers that Xu Chen cultivated just from his aura.

At this moment, the gamblers in the square, sensing the astonishing odds, mostly bet on Yu Lichuan to win without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Mu Chunlei, one of the gamblers, stared blankly at the battle world above, sensing the terrifying aura of the Great Dao emanating from Yu Lichuan.

Mu Chunlei's divine sense closely surrounded the embryonic innate spiritual treasure within the spatial magic artifact.

“This level of opponent is beyond what you can match, but I’ve already said it, even if you lose, I’ll still bet on you to win.” Mu Chunlei was extremely conflicted.

Reason told him he should bet on Yu Lichuan, but a voice in his heart warned him to follow his original words.

Mu Chunlei had a vague premonition that his current choice might break his destiny.

"How should I choose? How should I choose!"

A conflicted heart caused Mu Chunlei's expression to contort as reason battled against his inner feelings.

After agonizing over this for a long time, Mu Chunlei suddenly gritted his teeth and made a decision that went against his reason and feelings.

"You can't go wrong as long as you don't make a choice!"

At this moment, the aura of the battle world above was fully released.

Witnessed by billions of gamblers, a grand voice resounded throughout the battle world.

"The battle begins!"

In an instant, Xu Chen felt an invisible force of the Great Dao slap him away.

Xu Chen's figure transformed into a streak of light and crashed into the inner wall of the battle world. Finally, a large seal formed by the power of the Great Dao crashed towards Xu Chen.

"boom!!"

The battle world, capable of accommodating powerful cultivators at the Great Luo Realm, trembled slightly.

A defensive sword formation immediately blocked the attack.

"Fellow Daoist, did you enjoy smashing it?"

The Four Symbols Holy Sword appeared around Xu Chen, and with one step, it instantly transformed into his true sword form.

A terrifying swordsmanship power spread throughout the world.

"Annihilation, divine retribution!"

The Four Symbols Holy Swords merged into one, unleashing a terrifying destructive power as they slashed towards Yu Lichuan.

"You sly fox, wipe them out!"

A clear, cold voice rang out, echoing the laws of the Great Dao, directly dissolving the giant sword of destruction.

Yu Lichuan took a small step forward, and a long river of treasures appeared before him, each of the acquired spiritual treasures in the river exuding a terrifying aura.

In Xu Chen's view, every innate spiritual treasure in this long river was a masterpiece.

"Bai Bao, draw your sword!"

A top-tier acquired spiritual treasure sword flew out from the River of Treasures, emanating an even more terrifying sword power.

Xu Chen frowned slightly upon seeing this scene. He hadn't expected that even with his biggest trump card, this Nebula Clan member was still being overwhelmed by this person.

This disguise couldn't be hidden any longer, so Xu Chen decided to start a new one.

"All paths return to emptiness!"

Xu Chen suddenly exuded a unique aura of the Great Dao.

With his hands moving swiftly, a phantom power enveloped the entire battlefield.

The giant sword, a postnatal spiritual treasure, that was slashing towards Xu Chen seemed to vanish into thin air and pass right through him.

The gamblers in the square, who had amassed billions in gambling debts, were instantly in an uproar.

"The most powerful immortal technique of the Shadow Clan!"

Seeing that his attack had failed, Yu Lichuan began to look at Xu Chen seriously.

"I thought it was just a tiny ant that I could easily crush."

"I didn't expect I was wrong. This is interesting."

Three spatial acquired spiritual treasures flew out from the River of Treasures in an instant, suppressing the entire battlefield.

Another acquired spiritual treasure sword flew into Yu Lichuan's hands.

With just a simple spatial tremor, Yu Lichuan appeared in front of Xu Chen.

Xu Chen's true sword form was three thousand feet tall, while Yu Lichuan, who was less than one foot tall, stood right in front of Xu Chen's true form.

Between the two, Yu Lichuan may seem like an ant, but the aura emanating from him seems to control the true life and death of this massive sword path before him.

Yu Lichuan swung his sword at Xu Chen.

The immense aura of death emanating from the battle blade struck Xu Chen's mind directly.

"boom!!"

The sword and blade clashed, and even with three acquired spiritual treasures suppressing them, the surrounding space shattered slightly. "Interesting."

Seeing Xu Chen take the blow, Yu Lichuan began to take Xu Chen seriously.

"It's quite interesting!" Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly as his sword avatar dissipated and he reverted to his original form.

With swords and spears, the two sides engaged in a great battle in this world.

Each of Yu Lichuan's strikes consumed a trace of Xu Chen's source power, while each of Xu Chen's sword strikes was accompanied by a destructive sword intent surrounding Yu Lichuan.

At this moment, the aftershocks emanating from the battlefield alone would kill even a Golden Immortal realm expert.

"Heavenly Blade Slays Evil!"

A terrifying sword intent, fused with the power of the Great Dao of Death, slashed towards Xu Chen!

Xu Chen did not resist, sheathed his sword, and quickly formed hand seals.

"Fate reversed!"

This strike instantly annihilated eighty percent of Xu Chen's original power, which was essentially his disguised form.

But at the very moment Xu Chen unleashed his divine power, his primordial power returned to the level it was at before he was struck by that blade.

Just then, one of the jade lamp-shaped acquired spiritual treasures in the Hundred Treasures River that stretched across the battlefield suddenly shattered.

This scene caused another uproar among the gamblers in the square.

"The Immortal Dao Divine Power of the Wood Immortal Clan!"

Sensing something amiss about his own origin, Yu Lichuan turned to look at the Hundred Treasures River, then turned to Xu Chen and gave him a meaningful smile.

"Come on, let's keep fighting!"

"Let's see if we can get you to reveal your true colors in the end!"

The battle continued, and Yu Lichuan replaced his acquired spiritual treasure with a battle sword, the sword intent emanating from it was extremely terrifying.

Undeterred, Xu Chen continued to fight with his sword.

The two exchanged blows, and the destructive sword intent surrounding Yu Lichuan grew stronger and stronger.

Upon reaching the critical point, Xu Chen abruptly withdrew, directly detonating the destructive sword intent.

"Destroy!"

Suddenly, a powerful force of destruction ignited the surrounding space.

The dozen or so acquired spiritual treasures in the River of Treasures suddenly lit up with spiritual light.

Yu Lichuan actually stepped out from the Wanbao River, and the space that was detonated by the destroyed land had long since disappeared without a trace.

"Why do you think my clan would allow these immortal powers to circulate among these alien races?" A cold voice echoed across the battlefield.

The acquired spiritual treasure in Yu Lichuan's hand transformed into a giant hammer, and an aura of immense weight, as vast as the heavens and the abyss, emanated from his body.

"This is really difficult~" Xu Chen sighed inwardly, glancing at the long river of treasures.

Xu Chen's two deadly attacks were both blocked by the Treasure River.

"Is the Hundred Treasures River behind you a divine power of your Divine Race?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask during the battle.

"Yes!"

A giant hammer, as large as a mountain, appeared in the sky above the battlefield, locked onto Xu Chen, and smashed down on him.

The gamblers watching from below felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the giant hammer in the sky.

Even a powerful expert at the Great Luo Realm felt a chill run down his spine upon sensing the power emanating from the massive hammer as it struck.

On the battlefield, feeling the inescapable giant hammer, Xu Chen released a powerful spatial force, then swung his battle sword, cleaving the entire battlefield space in two.

He then abruptly blurred the space in which he was located.

"boom!!"

The giant hammer smashed into the spatial wall, instantly shattering that half of the space and penetrating into the illusory space created by Xu Chen. Its power was instantly reduced by 90%.

"Spatial solidification!"

In an instant, the space where Xu Chen was located instantly became real, and a giant hammer appeared in the sky and smashed down towards Xu Chen.

"There are so many different styles!"

Xu Chen couldn't help but complain.

The gamblers watching the battle below had become numb.

The sword strike Xu Chen unleashed just now, which split the entire battlefield in two using spatial power, was another top-tier immortal divine ability from another alien race.

"boom!!"

Xu Chen couldn't block this blow; it shattered the protective sword array and struck Xu Chen directly.

Yu Lichuan was quite surprised to see that Xu Chen had been hit and that the battle was not over.

At that moment, a colorful lotus flower radiating the essence of life appeared from the void and began to slowly bloom.

The profound aura of life emanating from Xu Chen's very being gave Yu Lichuan an unbelievable feeling.

"The Sacred Flower Clan's divine power, the Life Fruit Divine Lotus, excellent!"

With a wave of his hand, Yu Lichuan unleashed sixteen acquired spiritual treasures from the River of Treasures, which formed a grand formation on the battlefield.

"I'm getting more and more excited to see your true strength!"

"Control the weapon, transform into a spirit!"

The power of the great formation instantly amplified Yu Lichuan's strength.

A true form three thousand feet tall appeared on the battlefield, and the aura of the Great Dao emanating from the true form was three times more terrifying than that of Yu Lichuan before.

"Come, let me see what other supernatural powers you have!"

Xu Chen also took a step forward, and the true form of the Great Dao manifested by the immortal powers of the ten clans appeared, its power no weaker than that of Yu Lichuan.

A two-thousand-foot-long acquired spiritual treasure sword appeared in the hands of the Great Dao True Body.

A large purple sun slowly rose behind Xu Chen.

Yu Lichuan's three-thousand-foot-tall true form swung the giant hammer in its hand and smashed it down towards Xu Chen once again.

Xu Chen's true form used the battle sword in his hand to defend.

At this moment, Yu Lichuan unleashed his full power, and almost every strike shattered the surrounding space deep within the void.

Meanwhile, Xu Chen's acquired spiritual treasure sword was becoming increasingly unable to withstand the attack.

With each hammer blow, the gleam of his sword dimmed a little.

"This is the first time I, a Saint-grade weapon refiner, have suffered a loss due to a magic weapon in battle."

"Break the Boundary!!"

With another hammer blow, Xu Chen not only had a portion of his Golden Immortal Origin Power depleted, but the radiance of his battle sword also dimmed completely.

If the battle continues, the only outcome for the acquired spiritual treasure sword will be its shattering.

"in this way!"

Xu Chen's Great Dao True Body waved his hand, and a post-natal spiritual treasure battle sword appeared in each of his hands. A set of post-natal spiritual treasure battle armor also appeared on his Great Dao True Body.

These were all acquired spiritual treasures that Da Xu had refined for him in his spare time.

"After this great battle, I must make Da Xu forge several more top-tier acquired spiritual treasures for me!"

“I see you still have a few acquired spiritual treasures.”

Several more hammer blows came crashing down, and Xu Chen swung his twin swords to defend himself.

Although Xu Chen was constantly defending himself in this close-quarters combat, he was secretly observing the Hundred Treasures River.

Because he discovered that for every bit the acquired spiritual light he used diminished, the Hundred Treasures River became stronger.

As the hammers continued to strike, the brilliance of Xu Chen's two acquired spiritual treasure swords began to dim.

However, this time the light emanating from the twin swords was mixed with a trace of Xu Chen's will.

As the treasure light was diminished by the River of Treasures, a wisp of Xu Chen's will also penetrated into the River of Treasures.

However, this only made Yu Lichuan's expression towards Xu Chen even more mocking. (End of Chapter)
